I wanted to know what people think about it. Does it lowers your chance of getting into other schools if you don't get into the one you applied ED for. I had planned to originally apply to 4 schools but now I think I might just apply to the one I really want to go to ED. What is everyone else's opinion on ED?
 
ED helps your odds at your number 1 choice, and still gives you plenty of time to apply to others. As long as you aren't bottom of the barrel this is a good option.

Sorry to hijack a thread, but if I do ED, does that mean my PCAT has to be scored by Sept? I'm taking it Sept 4th. Is that too late? (Thanks for asking the question above by the way! I had the same question!)
 
I believe you can still submit without the score, but they may not offer you an interview without it, so it may not be beneficial. Usually ED applicants take the July PCAT.
